Sanders expressed a “love” for Colorado fans, saying he’s seen it go “from nothing to something.” And that’s a message his players will carry with them as they take the field in whatever bowl game they end up playing. You have to respect it.

Now we're seeing video of a talk that Sanders and his dad, Deion 'Coach Prime' Sanders had on the field before the game, and it might have led to the motivation needed for the productive afternoon. “This the last time here, Give them something to remember," Sanders told his son while walking on the field with him before kick-off.
